Dance Dance Dance
>> Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Yet again I have been the negligent blogger. But I swear it is going to change. I'm working on making this blog much better. I've definitely been really busy with my junior year in college. It is getting so hectic and crazy since we only have one more year left before graduation and its a horrifying and exhilarating at the same time.
Anyways back to the main point of this post: ZUMBA! My school offers Zumba on Monday and Friday. And so far I have consistently followed up on my word about exercising more this year.
Zumba, is basically a dance class with Latin flavor. It is so much fun, and the music is very upbeat and always entertaining. By no means can I dance, because I am off by a lot sometimes.. But hey its not the fact of knowing how to dance, its more importantly just doing something that gets your heart racing for healths sake.
Here is a youtube video of what zumba is all about:
Stressed is desserts spelled backwards
>> Saturday, January 2, 2010
Ok so not officially, but another thing that I need to get over is stress. I get especially stressed when I go back to school. And since I have about a week left before I return. I should probably figure out some ways to deal with stress. I don't necessarily deal with my stress, it's more like I get freaked out and super frustrated and yet I continue to do work. So I basically work myself up, and stress myself out to be perfect. Therefore I'm trying not to do that this year. lol.
To combat this I'm going to start exercising on a weekly basis. And journal on a more consistant basis. These are my main methods of coping with stress. And also trying to procrastinate less. Also getting sufficient sleep helps A LOT! So get sleep, procrastinate less, and exercise and write stressful things down.
And even though, the title of this post is stressed is desserts spelled backwards. I don't necessarily find that, that is the best solution to stress. Although desserts are enjoyable. Read more...
Million Pound Weight Loss Challenge
>> Monday, April 6, 2009
The total weight loss is now: 34, 247 pounds!! Keep sending in your weight loss results to: http://www.herbalifemillionpoundmission.com/
On to other non-herbalife news, it is officially spring time. Even though its mostly April showers, and a lot of crazy weather changing, its really really nice! I have been really great. I went on a walk yesterday on a trail since the weather was so lovely. And today i played volleyball. And tomorrow I'm going to play some other sort of sport or exercise, but I don't know what yet.
School has been.. going slowly.. but I am closely finishing up my second year of college! Working on a religion paper: about theravada and mahyana buddhism and their views on the ecological issues of today's society. Its really interesting, I think more than ever, I do not have a religion but more of a spirituality of sorts. Easter break is also coming up, but that won't be a break, more of a time to catch up and finish projects due right after easter brk.
Anyways its getting late, I'm gunna read some, and then sleep.

Day 1
>> Monday, March 16, 2009
My goal is to go from 130 to 115 pounds! I decided it's a huge challenge to lose weight in college. So this is for me to see and be the experiment on how I can help college students lose weight from using Herbalife products!
Today I drank a shake for breakfast as well as dinner. That picture is a bad pic of me but whatever. That's my awesome single serve blender with my cafe latte shake in it! hahaha. Its really yummy! I just finished drinking one for dinner. Ok so im gunna do a bit of predicting. I think one of the most difficult parts about this diet at college thing. Is the sheer fact that the taste and "goodness" of the foods change so much.. that I won't eat enough for lunch. And that is a problem because my plan is to have two meal-replacement shakes for a meal and a good balanced lunch! I think it will be great because I am also dieting w/ my friend Linh! She is also using Herbalife products.
Hopefully, this week will be calm and such. I'm really hoping that I finish and get an A on one of my big fashion industry projects! I have been working my butt off for it and I just hope my hardwork pays off. And I have an exam on Friday. And garment review for the fashion show is next week so I need to finish up knitting my skirt and pants, to enter and hopefully they will be accepted into the show.
Anyways, thats all folks!

College Eating Tip # 2

Drink More Water!
I have touched on the subject before at this post. It's helpful if you read that blog post, because it tells us why water is important. I mean its obvious that water is necessary for us to live.Why drink more water?
Improve Your Energy
Increase Your Mental and Physical Performance
Remove Toxins & Waste Products from your body
Keep Skin Healthy and Glowing
Help You Lose Weight
Reduce Headaches and Dizziness
Allow for proper Digestion
Help to keep you more Alkaline
Water is a natural appetite suppressant, so developing a good water drinking habit can be a long-term aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Doctor F. Batmanghelidj MD, author of "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" says most times your “hunger” is your body asking for water – not food.
It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.
How much water should you drink??
The usual amounts of water to drink is 8-12 cups. But if you drink more coffee, tea, or sodas with caffeine then you need to drink even more water because they take water away from your body. Therefore, you need to drink extra water to replace the water that was taken away.

College Eating Tip #1
>> Friday, January 2, 2009
Ok so college life is great all you can eat buffets, soda, junk food, pizza, chinese take out and the list goes on. It seems really great.. which it kinda is .. but at the same time its bad for your waistline and your health. I know I know.. this is what I always hear: "we're still young its ok"; "I have a fast metabolism". But it's really not ok to be eating so inconsistently and unhealithly. If you want to avoid getting the freshman 15 or basically gaining weight, you have to step up and watch what your eating. Not to say that you have to give up all of your favorite foods.
Time and time again.. the thing about college life is that its not very consistent,, one day you might be too busy to eat or have too many meetings and things to attend to. So we say its ok to skip meals. Unfortunately this doesn't really help us to lose weight or our health in the long run. It can actually contribute to us gaining more weight because we overeat at our next meal. Or we begin to snack on foods.
So don't skip meals!! Especially breakfast: "Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but the practice is more likely to cause weight gain than weight loss. Skipping breakfast is strongly linked to the development of obesity. According to research, skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal or nibble on high-calorie snacks to stave off hunger. Several studies suggest that people tend to accumulate more body fat when they eat fewer, larger meals than when they eat the same number of calories in smaller, more frequent meals."
Eat three meals a day at a consistent time. "Eating regular meals keeps you from getting hungry and your body from experiencing "intermittent starvation," which in turn promotes storing rather than burning calories. Breakfast is the most important meal."
Tips:
Breakfast made easy with the Herbalife formula 1 shake, it is a complete and nutritional balanced meal. It can be used to replace any meal. It's fast and you can pretty much make it anywhere. So instead of skipping a meal just drink a shake. or just drink it for breakfast. It's a great way to start off your mornings. Plus it comes in 7 diff flavors!!
Get your friends together to eat meals on a consistent schedule every day. That way you don't have to eat alone, and it makes people skip meals less. This is something that I do.. since it's just easier to have a schedule to eat instead of skippng meals.
